Gr1,Gr5, Gr7 Titanium Plate Flange Raised Face PN 5 for Industrial
Pipelines
Introduction:
In industrial pipeline applications, components must perform under
extreme conditions while maintaining durability and resistance to
corrosion. The EN 1092-1 Gr5, Gr7 Titanium Plate Flange Raised Face PN 5 is specifically designed for such applications, providing a
reliable solution for industries where corrosion resistance,
strength, and longevity are crucial. These flanges are especially
beneficial in chemical processing, offshore systems, and power generation industries, where exposure to harsh environments and fluctuating
pressures is a constant.
This article will examine the characteristics, materials, and
applications of these flanges in detail, highlighting the Titanium Gr5 and Titanium Gr7 alloys, their unique properties, and the significance of selecting
the correct flange for various industrial pipeline systems.

What Does EN 1092-1 Represent?
EN 1092-1 is a European standard outlining the specifications for flanges used in pipeline systems. It encompasses various flange types,
such as plate, weld neck, and slip-on flanges, and provides detailed dimensions, pressure ratings, and other
design characteristics to ensure that the components meet the needs
of different applications.
In this context, the Plate Flange Raised Face PN 5 is designed to handle moderate pressures (5 bar or approximately 72.5 psi) and features a raised face, which is essential for ensuring a strong seal between connected
components, making it ideal for systems that require precise sealing and pressure control.
| Flange Type | PN 1 | PN 2 | PN 5 | PN 10 | PN 16 |
|---|
| Maximum Operating Pressure (bar) | 1 | 2 | 5 | 10 | 16 |
| Common Applications | Low pressure fluid transmission | Low-pressure chemical systems | Medium pressure chemical/seawater pipelines | Medium-high pressure chemical and power generation systems | High-pressure industrial applications |
| Flange Design | Suitable for low-pressure environments | Suitable for low-pressure environments | Suitable for medium-pressure environments | Suitable for medium-high pressure environments | Suitable for high-pressure environments |
| Operating Temperature Range | -100°C to +300°C | -100°C to +300°C | -100°C to +400°C | -100°C to +400°C | -100°C to +400°C |
